Boost wi-fi and moca

Hey guys, I've had PureFibre Gigabit for a few months now. Ethernet speeds are blazing but haven't been happy with the wi-fi coverage. So, I have the Boost Starter 2-pack arriving soon and have some questions about installation and function.

 

Since i have working moca adapters in 2 other rooms, I'm hoping to take advantage of an ethernet backhaul. Can I connect each Boost pack via moca in those other rooms? Or does the first one have to be directly connected into one of the ports of the router? I have the newer white tower - Telus Wi-fi Hub).

 

Do the Boost packs create a new wi-fi network? My hope is to just take the existing network and extend it, since I'm happy with the wi-fi speeds right next to the router (I get around 500-600 mbps)

 

Thanks in advance!

  • The 2 Boost units will act as an extension of your Wi-Fi hub, using the same SSID. 
    They should be able to be connected to any Ethernet Connection on your network, as well.
